Hello. This is very common on this particular vehicle. Typically it is caused by a dirty or failing throttle body. I have also had a few of these with a sticking thermostat which causes the engine to run cooler than it should and makes the car run like this.

I typically start by cleaning the throttle body first. If that does not take care of it I would use a scan tool to check the coolant temperature and the throttle sensors. If you are thinking of having this done, have a certified mechanic inspect your rough idle and low rpm’s to make an accurate fix.
